This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $352,969 to Hofstra University will investigate the relationships between microbial plankton communities and coastal hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) in Long Island Sound, New York. The project aims to quantify changes in the structure and functioning of bacterial, archaeal, and microbial eukaryotic communities across periods of hypoxia and normoxia. The research will combine field work,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $590,677, granted on March 15, 2025, supports collaborative research by New College of Florida on the assembly, diversification, and coevolution of microbiomes associated with marine invertebrates. The goal is to understand how and why particular microbes are hosted by invertebrates, whether microbial diversity is related to host diversity, and how these associations change over evolutionary time. The...
This $599,986 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to determine how coral reef-associated microbes influence ecological processes on coral reefs. The project aims to understand how organic matter released by benthic primary producers on coral reefs selects for specific microbial taxa, and how the metabolism of these core reef microbes facilitates nutrient cycling, calcification, and biodiversity. The research combines...
This $899,809 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing ciliate-algal symbiosis. The grantee, Regents of the University of California at Riverside, will utilize a single-celled ciliate model to identify genotype-phenotype relationships and discover novel genes governing endosymbiosis with dinoflagellate algae....
This $497,856 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of California, Riverside to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing ciliate-algal symbiosis. The research aims to discover and characterize genes involved in the symbiotic relationship between ciliates and dinoflagellate algae, with the goal of developing strategies to...
This $487,135 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund a collaborative research project at Smith College to investigate the diversity and evolution of extremophilic microbial eukaryotes in geothermal spring systems. The 3-year project aims to document the biodiversity of these single-celled protists, describe new species, and improve understanding of eukaryotic diversity in these harsh environments. Key activities include...
This Project Grant award of $270,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will fund a postdoctoral fellowship focused on characterizing the microeukaryotic responses to terrestrial influence in sediments along a continental slope. The research will analyze microbial communities in sediment cores collected from the Puerto Rico continental shelf to the Atlantic Ocean depths, with the goal of identifying seafloor zones most likely to...
This $732,388 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to document the biodiversity of microbial eukaryotes, such as protists, across geothermal spring systems. The research aims to discover new species, describe their adaptations to extreme environments, and enhance understanding of eukaryotic diversity. Key activities include single-cell profiling, culturing, and microscopy-based analyses to infer...
This $439,396 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Duke University from September 2022 to August 2025 to develop a model microbial consortium for interrogating organic matter decomposition and carbon cycling in coastal systems under changing environmental conditions. Researchers will integrate field, laboratory, and modeling work to examine the functional roles and responses to temperature variation of diverse...
